I’ve been trying to incorporating more writing in my classes. I say this every year, but now I actually have a battle plan.
My bellwork is normally just a quick skills practice from the day before or a skill that will make the lesson go smoother. However, I’m now giving my students writing as their bellwork once or twice per week. It’s nothing ground-breaking, but it’s definitely an improvement over what I had been doing.
Here are some of the writing prompts my students have had. Notice that I frequently have to remind them to write in complete sentences :(
